"The purpose of this resolution is to send a message to our federal delegation that Indiana does not need federal mandates, more specifically a federal healthcare mandate," said Rep. Frizzell. "The constitution clearly defines Indiana's sovereignty in the 10th amendment, and this resolution is a reminder to the federal government of that balance of power." Recently two separate federal judges have ruled the recent federal healthcare law unconstitutional on the grounds that a federal healthcare mandate in the law breaks the commerce clause in the Constitution. -30- |
